Trace of saccades of the human eye on a face while scanning Saccades during observation of a picture on a computer screen. A saccade (/ s ə ˈ k ɑː d / sə-KAHD; French:; French for 'jerk') is a quick, simultaneous movement of both eyes between two or more phases of focal points in the same direction. [1]
Saccadic eye movements and anti-saccadic eye movements are carried out by similar regions of the brain: the frontal eye field (FEF), the supplementary motor area (SMA), the thalamus and putamen. Anti-saccades involve two important cognitive functions: the ability to form an intention and the ability to inhibit a reflexive response.
Eye tracking device is a tool created to help measure eye and head movements. The first devices for tracking eye movement took two main forms: those that relied on a mechanical connection between participant and recording instrument, and those in which light or some other form of electromagnetic energy was directed at the participant's eyes and its reflection measured and recorded.
Although 50/60 Hz is more common, today many video-based eye trackers run at 240, 350 or even 1000/1250 Hz, speeds needed to capture fixational eye movements or correctly measure saccade dynamics. Eye movements are typically divided into fixations and saccades – when the eye gaze pauses in a certain position, and when it moves to another ...
Predictive smooth pursuit for a sinusoidal target movement. In the scientific study of vision, smooth pursuit describes a type of eye movement in which the eyes remain fixated on a moving object. It is one of two ways that visual animals can voluntarily shift gaze, the other being saccadic eye movements.
The species in which fixational eye movement has been verified thus far include humans, primates, cats, rabbits, turtles, salamanders, and owls. Regular eye movement alternates between saccades and visual fixations, the notable exception being in smooth pursuit, controlled by a different neural substrate that appears to have developed for ...
Saccades evaluate voluntary saccadic movement, which are quick eye movements to a target. [1] [2] A dot or visual target appears at random points along the screen, though only along the horizontal axis is common. [2] [1] The patient is instructed to not try to guess where the target will be. [2] This test measures latency, velocity, and accuracy.
A person with saccadic dysmetria will constantly produce abnormal eye movements including microsaccades, ocular flutter, and square wave jerks even when the eye is at rest. [5] During eye movements hypometric and hypermetric saccades will occur and interruption and slowing of normal saccadic movement is common. [5]
